THE BIBLE. FT • . • MR. EDITOR,—In TlllegliN of Saturday last CANDIDUS charges SCRUTATOR as an advocate of , a false Translation, which puts a lie (as CANDI DUS says) into the mouth of the .Prophet. Elisha. Being unacquainted with Hebrew, I can say no thing as to the Translation : but. standing as the passage does in English, I confess it does not convey to my mind such an idea: The passagg.io , • in 2 Kings„ c. viii. y.lO. .'f. "Aid Elisha said unto him, Qo, say unto him Thou mayest certainly recover; hOwl.seit the Lord path sheaved me that he shall surely die." The lie is not in the mouth of the Prophet; hut the Prophet knew that there was a rit in Ilazael, even as he knew there - wal• own servant Gehazi. lt,therefore appears to inc that in the first part of the verse the righteous Prophet reproaches Hazael :• be says, Go ! (thctu deceitfal one !) salt 'onto hint (for I know thou wilt solay), Thou ntayest certainly recover; how beit the Lord bath strewed one that he shall surely (lie that this letter part is the answer of the Prophet to the cruestion which Hazed was sent to put tr i pto him ; for we find this knowledge caused the Prophet to weep, and that Hazael went and did even as the Prophet too well knew he would.. For he returned to his master, " who said to him, What said Elisha to thee ? And he answered, He told me that thou shoultlest surely recover,"—and there he stops. Was this Elisha's answer 1- Was this what he said unto Hazael ? Your's -respectfully, H. Dec.l a 1818. FOR THE SUN. BIBLICAL gRRORS. MR.EDITOII,—Be pleased to inform your Corres, pondent, A Cu RisTIAN, that the Books of the Pews tateuch and Prophets which lot m the Bible, or Old.

The Ohl Testament was written in Hebrew only ; but Mr. Bellamr's New 'lranslation of it is nearer, ver&ally and literally, than the faulty one, which-has beets too long in use. If this Christian has only read the New Testa-, ment, and has neglected the Old, be will improrf himself by turning to it often, as a...b00k copt.ain.• ing a history of sin and repentance,' iu a stiX necl:d People,, until their obstinate relapst3 -7 brought on their captivity and final dispersion ; as a . book also that is read in all the Tabernacles in and about the Metropolis, to which it is not unlikely this Christian is a frequent -visitor. STACKIIOUSE. (See my Thrd Letter, o f the Lth inst. in this Paper.) FOR l'IlE SUN. INSOLVENT DEBTORS. Mn. EDTTOR,—INDOCTUS, in your Paper; is very much mistaken in swing that your Corres pondents on this subject are at issue, and have shewn a hostile spirit. It really is no such thing. The Gentlemen in the Temple and Wine-office court seemed to have experienced some fonl play before the Commissioner tinder the Act of Insol vency, and have shewn their resentment, not to Ihe parties, who are in the hack ground, but to the Act itself, and all who act within ir. This in a Newspaper must be ineffectual, as the Public is not a tribunal before which partial abuses can be 'corrected ; but the Courts of Law are, on hear ing both sides. Audi afferent portent, and in re gard to auy hostile spit it, I have discovered none, whatever there. may be in secret, and I verily believe there is none there ; but if INDOCTUS knows otherwise, it is more than is known by Your humble Servant, AN AGENT and ATTORNEY, &c. A private letter contains the following particu lars of an intended duel at'Paris M. Beau poil de St. Aulaire, a young man, sub-lieutenant its the legion of the Haut Rhin, last month pub lished, wider his own name, a libel, as base as it was injurious, entitled ()raison funebre du Due de Feltre. Without any respect for the scarcely cold remains of the deceased, anti in defiance of all decency, the memory of this ex-minister is as persed in the most outrageous language. M. de Montesquieu-Pexenssc, son-ill-law to the late Duke, provoked iII. de St. Aulaire to a duel ; and certainly no provocation was ever more excus able, I will even say more honourable. The two champions, at tended by six seconds, .most of whom were General Officers, repaired on. Monday last to the wood of Viocennts, at break' of-ttay,„,„, —The combat would have been most desperate ; . ,they were to fire simidtaneonsly at 15 paces, with. pistols c f large hot e, and the two adversaries might probably have perished together, by the first discharge. Alreaoy the arms were loaded, and the signal was on the .point of being given, when a patrol of gendarmes rushed upon them, separated the combatants, and conducted them to the staff residence. agreeably to an order front Gen.
